#  Noels Music game HST element
#  steps
#  1.  Save current score to our HST.txt file
#  2.  Read in the file line by line into a list
#  2a.  As the file is appended, split on the comma, convert score to int
#  2b.  Close the file
#  3.  Sort the list reverse order
#  4.  Present the top 5 scores in decending order
